Intro: (news snippets)"Let me now turn, to our program for the future...""The economy right now, is extremely supportive of the president and his policies""FBI scientists have found chemical traces, consistent with a bomb or a missile, on a piece of wreckage...""Police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators...""They called me a mother-(bleeped out)-ing so-and-so... and a white fascist... like they said, 'you're getting some of your own medicine'..."

You can't fool all the people all of the timeBut if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behindTell me who's got control of your mind? your world view?Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? (uh)Know what I'm sayin' cause Uncle Sam got a planIf you examine what they tellin' us then you will understandWhat they plantin' in the seeds of the next generationFeeding our children miseducationNo one knows if there's UFO's or any life on MarsOr what they do when they up in the starsBecause I don't believe a word of what the President saidHe filling our head with lies, got us hypnotisedWhen he be speaking in code words about crime and povertyDrugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robberyIt really means us, there's no excuse for the slanderBut what's good for the goose, is still good for the ganderSee...

I don't believeBob Marley died from cancer31 years ago I woulda been a PantherThey killed Huey 'cause theyKnew he had the answerThe views that you see in the news is propaganda

I don't want no computer chip in my armI don't wanna die by a nuclear bombI say we all rush the pentagon, pull out gunsAnd grab the intercom, my first words will beI believe man made god, outta ignorance and fearIf God made man, then why the hell would he put us here?I thought he's supposed to be the all lovingThe same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the ovenWe don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed usAll this half-ass leadership, flippin' positionThey turn politician and shut the hell up and follow traditionFor your TV screen is telling lies to your visionEvery channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watchRunning up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shotsIt's a plot, but bustaCan you tell me who's greedier?Big corporations, the pigs or the media?Sign of the times, terrorism on the riseCommercial airplanes, falling out the sky like fliesMake me wonder what secrets went down with bob brown (?)Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found?It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidentsIt coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the OlympicsBut it probably was the FBI, deep at the call'Cause if they make us all panic, then they can start martial law

I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer31 years ago I woulda been a PantherThey killed Huey 'cause they knew he had the answerThe views that you see in the news is muthafuckin propaganda

Singing:Police is telling lies fooling millionsWhat are they teaching our kids in these school buildings?Televised, enterprised in all the killingControlling our lives, this ain't livingNo this ain't living
